Telemetry can be disabled in Brave. Any kind of history/bookmark syncing is opt-in.
You're just spreading FUD unless you have evidence that Brave funnels usage data in secret.

You're just spreading FUD unless you have evidence that Brave funnels usage data in secret.
If they are hidden for you, it's because you, the user, hid them or enabled the overflow extension menu.
Let me do just that!
This is a networked service. You send your password (or a hashed form) to it, and it validates it. You don't have the local hash to bruteforce it offline.
Even if we only consider the top 10k english words, it's 10000^4. It's going to take years to bruteforce this over a network because you'll go through so many rate-limits, cooldown periods, and outright bans that it's questionable whether it's even possible.
They use Linux because it's there. If Linux wasn't there, they'd use what's there. There is nothing about Linux that makes it unique enough to be make or break OpenAI. Not one thing.
And yes, when a company distributes their app for the Linux desktop, we should be grateful or at the very least not hostile.
The attitude of Linux zealots is honestly tiresome and it makes us all look bad.
1. Facebook already knows everything you see and do on facebook
2. Facebook is the ad network and serves its own ads.
Therefore blocking ads on facebook won't prevent facebook from knowing everything you do.
GP seems to have a fair understanding of the situation, care to explain why you think it's wrong?
That's the usual go-to, isn't it? Forcing your opponent to define the word woke to make them look dumb/hateful.
If we want to play semantics checkers, why don't we stick with the original meaning of the word, in which case being against only one of those things would be considered woke.
Correct. In every case all the data is sent to the cloud. That is where the data is crunched and transformed in actual metrics. You can do the test and block the internet to the companion app. You'll see that only instantaneous data is updated (heart rate, steps), but nothing else. There is no way to use a fitbit or pixel watch without the cloud. Google eventually gets all your health information, minute by minute.
Gadgetbridge can do some things, but not many (and nothing at all for most of Google/Fitbit's products). Which is fine if all you want is HR and steps and possibly notifications, but then there is no point in paying for a smart watch, just get a fitness tracker that is cheaper and has better battery.
Adding llama-swap adds a fair amount of complexity that is unpleasant to debug and its documentation isn't very good (the only real doc is the sample config file).
I've donated money and time to volunteer programs to children computing groups but they've all been shut down during COVID. The ones that are popping back up are centered around LLMs and I'm less interested in encouraging this kind of (lack of) desire to understand computers.
- The Windows task manager's memory column is the private working set which is the actual memory used by the application minus shared memory (but only shared memory that is currently shared with other processes, not merely marked shared. I.E. it's similar to RES - SHR on Linux but it's more accurate)
- Windows doesn't overcommit memory. Memory that is reserved but unused (not touching all pages) by the app is truly wasted. I mention this because in your other comment you make it clear that you think this is happening. But Windows isn't Linux.
1. Data retention isn't infinite. If the source disappears from the network, peers will prune it shortly. This is exponentially true in our multimedia-heavy world.
2. Despite 1, if you actually want to delete something you published, you can't. Absolutists will see this as a good thing. Normal people will see this as a problem.
3. Peer-to-peer doesn't work in a mobile-first world, and not enough people will host nodes as a hobby. If all website publishers/hosters have to host a node, then we're just back to the current model but with extra steps.
They're not going to get any cleverer than they are now. In October we'll finally be done with heuristics or central databses of https-first websites used by the various browsers or the half a dozen of headers that you must dance around to get the upgrade to work securely and reliably. They will just default to https first.

Yes this is about Chrome, but all others will follow.
Running unbound or a pi-hole on your network doesn't preclude that.
Your devices talks to the gateway/router/pi-hole on the network, who will then use your chosen DoH providers for upstream requests.
Edge allows to sync history (as Chrome and Firefox also do). Given that functionality, what else do you want them to say in their privacy statement..?
The main thing that is affecting adblockers with this MV2/MV3 change is the ability to dynamically block requests themselves rather than have to give a pre-computed list of patterns to the browser.
We're talking about hooking into right before http requests go out and make them fail here. Let's not pretend that maintaining this capability is out of reach for any serious fork if they actually cared. Let's also not pretend it's more than a few hours per month of dev time per month to maintain it (and most months it will be 0 hours).
And before you ask: Yes, I have worked extensively with chromium's codebase when I worked for a kiosk company.
Neither registrars nor tld operators care about squatting, even when they don't get a cut. Why would they? The squatter is paying them the same as you'd pay them.
Gitlab's default requirements aren't that intense, but you can make them more stringent if you want.

I guess your goal was to allow users to have 4 character passwords, i.e. "love." which afaik you can't do.
This is patently false.
> if you are good at logical thinking, truth seeking, and problem solving this applies to everything you do in life.
That's how we STEM people like to see ourselves, yes. But that's rarely how it plays out. First, ego gets in the way. When someone thinks they understand something (even if it's way outside their field of expertise), they are much less likely to do the truth seeking part. So they stick to erroneous beliefs which results in them making idiotic claims.
Then you have the fact that STEM people struggle with nuance. They prefer cold simple logic. Which results in views on nuanced topics such as human behavior that are so appalling it's become a meme at this point.
Then you have the classic counter example of geniuses going off the deep end with the Nobel disease.
Good. The more software vendors require UEFI, the more arm board manufacturers will have to support it.
As an embedded developer I don't hate device-tree-only devices per se, and I have the skills to make any distro (that supports ARM) work on any board, but I absolutely do not have the patience to do it.
When you're done reading a line your eyes must move back to the start of the next line. With short lines you can still fully see the end of the previous line so it's easy to locate. It's a lot harder to do with long lines.
The result is that you can't open open two file property dialogs at once (to compare sizes or dates or any other meta data, it's a common thing one might want to do).
Hopefully you'd agree that Wayland should allow apps to position windows relative to their own windows, at the very least.
I agree it's likely to prevent third parties from messing with the setting, but not hostile third parties specifically. Think of a VPN app or file sharing browser extensions who might want to disable the relay "to be helpful".
Because a truly hostile entity capable of changing local settings can already obtain the device's real IP and also capture traffic, the two things private relay is meant to prevent. There would be no point. If anything it might increase the odds of detection.
How much RAM does CachyOS uses if you're running outlook, teams, and 6 browser tabs open?
Is it less than a human would have? Is it more? Is it the same type of bugs?
I could be convinced either way and it's an interesting thing to ponder in my opinion.
